The Institute for School Counseling and
School Psychology
Mary Ann Mariani, Ph.D., Director
Evans Tsoules, Ed.D., Coordinator and School Psychology
The Institute for School Counseling and School Psychology is one of the few professional continuing education programs in the nation focused exclusively on the needs of school counselors. All of the workshops are offered to Master of Arts program students. C.A.G.S., undergraduates, and Special Students may also attend the Institute sessions. This provides a unique and powerful opportunity for Master's candidates to interact with current professionals in the field.
The Institute provides training sessions for which PDP's and CEU's may be granted. Some training sessions may be taken for graduate credit.
The primary goals of the Institute are to offer:
- professional training that enables counselors and psychologists to be current with new theories and methodologies
- on-site in-service training to teachers and administrators covering topices that advance the work of school counselors and psychologists towards achieving the standards in the Massachusetts Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs;
- outreach consultation to schools seeking assistance with delivery of service.
A complimentary breakfast is provided by Assumption College beginning at 8:00 AM. Lunch may be purchased on campus.
